I am all for changes of the fluid and filters... sometimes on old cars it takes multiple times to get rid of what has accumulated..then breaks away during the processes...
but I would include the torque converter in the original draining... if the FSM calls for that... and I am pretty sure it does.. otherwise you are leaving a significant amount of the old fluid in there to mix with the new ..
I would also add a can of Trans-X to the new fluid. If any seals are old and thinking about leaking this stuff swells them...
A few months ago I fixed a significant trans fluid leak on my 95 Lincoln ( a quart per 75 miles or so ) .. just by adding the Trans-X.... lots of threads in the archives about Trans-X....
